This visionary and engaging book provides a mathematical perspective on the fundamental ideas of numbers, space, life, evolution, the brain and the mind. The author suggests how a development of mathematical concepts in the spirit of category theory may lead to unravelling the mystery of the human mind and the design of universal learning algorithms.The book is divided into two parts, the first of which describes the ideas of great mathematicians and scientists, those who saw sparks of light in the dark sea of unknown. The second part, Memorandum Ergo, reflects on how mathematics can contribute to the understanding of the mystery of thought. It argues that the core of the human mind is a structurally elaborated object that needs a creation of a broad mathematical context for its understanding. Readers will discover the main properties of the expected mathematical objects within this context, called ERGO-SYSTEMS, and readers will see how these ¿systems¿ may serve as prototypes for design of universal learning computer programs. This is a work of great, poetical insight and is richly illustrated. It is a highly attractive read for all those who welcome a mathematical and scientific way of thinking about the world.

Bibliographic notes, updated and expanded from the first edition, are included at the end of every chapter for further reading on Monge-Ampere-type equations and their diverse applications in the areas of differential geometry, the calculus of variations, optimization problems, optimal mass transport, and geometric optics.

This volume contains seventeen papers that were presented at the 2015 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Society for History and Philosophy of Mathematics/La Soci¿ Canadienne d¿Histoire et de Philosophie des Math¿tiques, held in Washington, D.C. In addition to showcasing rigorously reviewed modern scholarship on an interesting variety of general topics in the history and philosophy of mathematics, this meeting also honored the memories of Jacqueline (Jackie) Stedall and Ivor Grattan-Guinness; celebrated the Centennial of the Mathematical Association of America; and considered the importance of mathematical communities in a special session. These themes and many others are explored in these collected papers, which cover subjects such asNew evidence that the Latin translation of Euclid¿s Elements was based on the Arabic version attributed to al-¿ajj¿jWork done on the arc rampant in the seventeenth century The history of numerical methods for finding roots of nonlinear equationsAn original play featuring a dialogue between George Boole and Augustus De Morgan that explores the relationship between themKey issues in the digital preservation of mathematical material for future generationsA look at the first twenty-five years of The American Mathematical Monthly in the context of the evolving American mathematical communityThe growth of Math Circles and the unique ways they are being implemented in the United StatesWritten by leading scholars in the field, these papers will be accessible to not only mathematicians and students of the history and philosophy of mathematics, but also anyone with a general interest in mathematics.

The second edition of this monograph describes the set-theoretic approach for the control and analysis of dynamic systems, both from a theoretical and practical standpoint.

This volume is dedicated to Leonid Lerer on the occasion of his seventieth birthday. The main part presents recent results in Lerer's research area of interest, which includes Toeplitz, Toeplitz plus Hankel, and Wiener-Hopf operators, Bezout equations, inertia type results, matrix polynomials, and related areas in operator and matrix theory.

This newest addition to the Nutrition and Health series focuses on nutrition¿s key role in lifestyle interventions to prevent and manage diseases. The book pays particular attention to nutritional considerations related to obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Edited by cardiologist, Dr. James Rippe, a well-known expert in the nascent specialty of Lifestyle Medicine, Nutrition in Lifestyle Medicine will also focus on a variety of specialized areas such as nutrition for athletes and physically active individuals, hydration, and nutrition throughout the life cycle (spanning from children to individuals over the age of 60). In addition, chapters will be included on controversies in nutrition, such as health effects of added sugars and saturated fatty acids in the diet. Finally, specialized chapters will be included in such areas as nutrition for women, nutrition for men, nutrition for latinos, the use of supplements, communication about nutrition, public policy issues, and the interface between nutrition and physical activity.Lifestyle Medicine, supported by the American Journal of Lifestyle Medicine, Dr. Rippe¿s textbook Lifestyle Medicine (CRC Press, 2013) and American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM), is a new national medicine specialty that stresses the use of lifestyle interventions in the treatment and management of disease. Its practitioners effectively manage medical treatments alongside the lifestyle interventions, for example lowering insulin treatment for patients with diabetes, reducing the dose of anti-hypertension medications for people with hypertension, and prescribing certain medical interventions that aid in smoking cessation.

In combination, maldigestion, malabsorption, and increased metabolic demands pose a high hurdle for the patient to overcome in order to maintain optimal nutritional status.Nutrition in Cystic Fibrosis: A Guide for Clinicians is an excellent resource for physicians, nurses and dietitians who deliver care for patients with cystic fibrosis.

Mit diesem Band über die am häufigsten verwendeten statistischen Methoden wenden wir uns an einen breiten Kreis von Wissenschaftern und Studenten. Biologen, Medizinern, Ingenieuren, Wirtschaftswissenschaftern und Soziologen wird gezeigt, in welcher Art und Weise Varianzanalyse und Regressionsrechnung beim Auswerten von Beobachtungen und Versuchen anzuwenden sind. Das Buch, als Statistische Methoden Il bezeichnet, schliesst an unsere Ausführungen in Elementare statistische Methoden (UTB 796) an; auf dieses 1979 veröffentlichte Buch nehmen wir jeweils als Band I Bezug. Die neue Nume­ rierung erscheint uns auch deshalb gerechtfertigt, weil für die multivariaten Methoden ein eigener Band III geplant ist; die­ ser wird bald erscheinen. Um das Buch, soweit dies sinnvoll ist, in sich abge­ schlossen zu halten, sind gewisse Teile aus Band I nochmals in knapper Weise entwickelt worden; davon betroffen sind vor allem die einfache Varianzanalyse und die einfache lineare Regression. Wir wiederholen auch die wichtigsten Tafeln. Im Kapitel 1 stellen wir einige Begriffe aus der Wahr­ scheinlichkeitsrechnung, die elementaren Tests und die Grundzüge des Schätzens von Parametern zusammen. Kapi­ tel 2 bringt die varianzanalytischen Methoden, von der einfa­ chen bis zur dreifachen Klassierung. Wir gehen dabei auch auf die Probleme bei ungleichen Besetzungszahlen ein. Die Regressionsrechnung im Kapitel 3 beginnt mit dem einfachen Fall einer einzigen unabhängigen Variablen, dann wird über zwei Regressoren zum allgemeinen Fall von p Regressoren er­ weitert. Anschliessend an diese Grundlagen betrachten wir verschiedene Formen der nichtlinearen Regression, sowie die Spezialfälle der periodischen Regression und der Regression mit Anteilen und Anzahlen.
